HMI: Matters for Discussion 1 Ten Good Schools
|
Matters for Discussion (1977-82) HMI Series London: Her Majesty's Stationery Office 1977-82
Background notes Historical context
They were part of the 'Great Debate' about the nature and purpose of education which Prime Minister Jim Callaghan had called for in his Ruskin College speech on 18 October 1976. The booklets frequently refer to the years of compulsory schooling in secondary school as years 1 to 5. Since the introduction of the National Curriculum these have been designated Years 6 to 10. They all had similar covers (number 4 is shown here), though they were not all the same colour.
The booklets online Each booklet is presented in a single web page. Section headings and footnotes were printed in the margin: I have moved the headings into the main body of the text and the footnotes to their usual position at the bottom of each page - in a few cases this has meant adding an asterisk. The tables and diagrams are presented as images. A few larger ones are shown in the text as links: clicking on one opens the table or diagram in a new window. I have corrected a few printing errors.
The above notes were prepared by Derek Gillard and uploaded on 30 October 2012.
